Kiwi Popsicles

Gazing out the window on a hot summer day, I find myself longing for a tropical island paradise surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Palm trees, tropical fruit, paradise…

Then I look out my window and watch the shadows of yet another heatwave pass by, in this hellacious desert that is Arizona. SIGH.

I developed these tropical-inspired kiwi popsicles as my own mini getaway! Kiwi and pineapple combine in a perfectly sweet and tart ice pop. Even my mom is a huge fan! 

Munchkin is really enamored with them too. She calls them her “Green Tickles,” which completely tickles me.

If you’ve never tried a popsicle with kiwi before, you’re in for a treat. Enjoy them, I know you will!

Need more flavors? I’ve got so many ice pops to choose from! From blueberry Greek yogurt and strawberry lime yogurt to coffee and even banana split, there’s something for everyone!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Whole Pineapple – You read that right! You need one whole pineapple for your ice pops. You’ll have to peel, core, and chop it first, but all of that fresh flavor is so worth the effort!
  
  I just love the way it tastes with the kiwi!
  
• Clover Honey – One of my preferred, all-natural sweeteners! Clover honey has a mild, almost floral taste that complements the fruit wonderfully.
  
  It also acts as a softening agent to help keep the kiwi pineapple popsicles from becoming too icy.
  
• Kiwi – Make sure they’re ripe! Peel and slice them before getting started, and set aside a few slices for decoration.
  
  Technically optional, but I love adding the full slices for a more impressive presentation.

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Kiwi Pineapple Popsicles

• Use super ripe fruit for the best flavor.

Since this kiwi popsicle recipe relies on the natural sweetness of the fresh fruit, it’s important that both are fully ripe.

Ripe pineapples will have a golden yellow skin and the bottom should smell sweet, while ripe kiwis will give slightly when pressed. 

If the fruit isn’t sweet enough, don’t be afraid to add more honey!

• Add a squeeze of lime if the fruit is too sweet.

Now, it’s all about balance. Yes, using ripe fruit is key, but you could end up with too sweet results.

In that case, you need a little acidity to balance it out.

A squeeze of lime or lemon juice will bring out the tartness and refresh the overall taste of your kiwi popsicles, so don’t be afraid to add some!

• Play around with the consistency.

Use a blender to combine the pineapple, kiwi, and honey until smooth, or if you prefer a few fruit chunks, simply pulse until you get the texture you’re after.

There’s no right or wrong way! If you want a creamier popsicle with kiwi, you could even add a bit of coconut milk to the mix too.  

That’s the beauty of making ice pops from scratch!

• Use warm water to easily remove from molds.

When ready to serve, don’t yank the popsicles too hard or they might break.

Instead, run the mold under warm water for 10-15 seconds until the ice pops slide out smoothly.

If they’re still stuck, just be patient! Run them under the water for a few extra seconds before trying again.

Prep Ahead

• Peel and slice kiwi
• Peel, core, and chop pineapple

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

• Quality Knives and a big solid Cutting Board make prepping a breeze and are well worth the investment.
• Pineapple Corer/Peeler – We eat a lot of fresh pineapple in my house, and I love this little gadget! It makes cutting a pineapple so quick and easy.
• Mixing Bowls – I like to have a variety of sizes on hand, and this set has them all.
• Blender – A high-powered blender is a must in every kitchen!
• Ice Pop Mold – Silicone molds are ideal! This one comes with reusable sticks too.

Easy Mix-In Ideas

I kept these kiwi pineapple popsicles relatively simple — which means there’s even more room for you to get creative!

Prepare them as is, incorporate some of that coconut milk I mentioned if you’d like, or add another one of these fun twists:

• Unsweetened coconut flakes would add texture and a more tropical feel to the blended mixture 
• Stir in berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or halved strawberries for a pop of color
• Or add more tropical fruits like mango, peaches, or banana for a different flavor
• Fresh mint leaves would make these taste like mojitos!
• Grated lime or lemon zest would brighten the whole thing up

Storing 

Be sure to remove each popsicle with kiwi from the mold once frozen solid, then wrap in parchment paper before adding to a large freezer bag.

If you keep them in the back of your freezer they’ll keep for up to 3-4 weeks!

I usually try to label them with the date so I can remember. When you make as many batches of homemade ice pops as I do… you need all the help you can get!!

Tropical Popsicles

Ice pops or popsicles — whatever you call them — are such an easy and healthy treat. Smoothie pops are a particular favorite of Munchkin’s, and they don’t even require any extra effort.

Virtually every morning, Chad and Munchkin enjoy a Banana Orange Smoothie. I’ll pour whatever is left over into a mold and pop it in the freezer so she can have tiny pops to snack on throughout the day.

It inspired me to come up with as many homemade popsicle recipes as I could!

Chad and I are totally hooked on Raspberry Lemonade Yogurt Ice Pops, and I can’t get enough of the strawberry balsamic flavor. For a twist make these coffee popsicles, you’ll thank me!

But believe me when I say, these layered tropical ice pops might be our new favorites. The best part is that they’re made entirely with fresh fruit — no sugar, no yogurt, and no blending. Easy peasy!

Love fresh tropical flavors? Our Fruit Salad Recipes roundup has even more easy, colorful ideas the whole family will love.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Pineapple – Ripe pineapple means the difference between bland or sour fruit and an extra juicy, extra sweet flavor.
  
  The rind should be golden yellow in color (not green) and firm, with a sweet smell at the base.
  
  To be sure, gently tug on some of the center leaves — they should come out easily when the fruit is ripe!
  
• Raspberries – Look for vibrant berries and pick through the bunch to remove any stems or leaves. Give them a quick rinse in cool water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels before mashing.
  
  Frozen will work in a pinch, but you’ll need to thaw and drain them really well beforehand.
  
• Mango – There may be a few different varieties to choose from — some mangoes are completely yellow, while others are green and red. You can use either for this tropical popsicle recipe.
  
  Ripe mangoes will be firm with some give when gently squeezed, much like a tomato or avocado. Avoid any that are overly soft or bruised.
  
• Kiwi – Fuzzy on the outside but tart and sweet on the inside! These will feel similar to mangoes when ripe — some give when squeezed, between rock hard and squishy.
  
• Honey – Add up to 1 tablespoon per mashed fruit mixture if it needs a little extra sweetness. Honey will also ensure your fruiti pops are soft and biteable!

Tips and Tricks to Make Perfect Tropical Ice Pops

• Measure the volume of your molds first.

Fill each mold with water, then pour that into a measuring cup so you can see what you’re working with. Some of mine hold 4 tablespoons, but a lot of molds available for purchase only hold 3 tablespoons.

Since there are 4 different fruits, that means larger molds can hold 1 tablespoon of each flavor. But you’ll have to get a little more creative with smaller molds.

Here’s a little math to help: If you can make 6 ice pops and each mold holds 3 tablespoons, then you’ll need 18 tablespoons of fruit total.

Divide that by 4 flavors, and you get 4.5 tablespoons of each fruit between all 6 molds.

In that case, measure out that amount of each mashed fruit and divide it evenly between the molds by sight. Or, simply stick with your 3 favorite fruits to make it easier LOL.

• Blend pineapple and mango for the best texture.

These fruits have a lot of stringy fibers, so you’ll get the smoothest consistency if they are blended instead of mashed by hand.

Blending will also prevent any tiny pockets of air that can trap ice crystals or affect the structure of your tropical fruit pop.

• Keep the sides clean as you add each layer.

Any fruit residue left behind will mess with those clean, distinct tropical popsicle layers!

I didn’t have any trouble spooning the mashed fruit directly into the center of the ice pop molds, but you’ll get more precise results with plastic baggies.

Spoon each mashed fruit into a different baggie (as close to the bottom corner as possible), then snip off the corner and squeeze it right in. It’s like a homemade piping bag!

Prep Ahead

• Peel and chop fruit

What You’ll Need for This Recipe

• Quality Knives and a big solid Cutting Board make prepping a breeze and are well worth the investment.
• Mixing Bowls – I like to have a variety of sizes on hand, and this set has them all.
• If needed, use a Food Processor or high-powered Blender to purée the fruit.
• Sieve – Use this to strain the raspberries so there are no seeds in your tropical popsicles.
• Ice Pop Mold – Silicone molds are ideal! This one comes with reusable sticks too.

More Tasty Flavor Ideas

You may notice a common theme with the fruits used in this recipe — they’re all naturally tart! A little honey will sweeten them right up, but you can also swap out any layer with something sweeter.

Double down on tropical flavor by mixing shredded coconut into a few of the layers.

Or, use this recipe as a guide for something new entirely! Layer strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a Very Berry ice pop.

You can even enjoy fruity popsicles well into the fall thanks to stone fruits. Peaches, plums, apricots, and cherries would all be just as delicious in frozen form.

Storing Frozen Fruiti Pops

Because these tropical popsicles are made entirely with fresh fruit, they are at a higher risk of becoming icy or getting freezer burn.

As soon as they are frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe storage bag. They can stay inside individual molds, but if you have to kind where all the molds are connected, you’ll need to carefully remove them first.

Wrap each tropical fruit pop in parchment paper or smaller zippered baggies before stacking in the larger storage bag.

Enjoy within 1 month for the best texture and flavor!

This has to be one of my favorite summer salads. This time of year, all I can think about are the sweet peaches that are ripe and ready, making this delicious salad a possibility.

Using fresh ingredients is what gives this simple salad its summer flavor, and I love that I can make this in just a few simple steps.

The fresh berries paired with the fresh peaches create the best natural sweetness and best flavor.

I’ll make a big bowl of this as one of my go-to summer recipes because it’s a great side dish for any main meal or a yummy snack.

You can also add any other favorite fruit to this fresh peach salad because the flavors of fresh fruit pair really well together.

Other simple ingredients to pair with these juicy peaches could be raspberries, watermelon, and more.

I’ll leave some as whole fruit, and others I’ll slice and spread out more on the top of the salad.

You can also add crunchy pecans or crunchy pine nuts to the top of a big salad to give it a bit of crunch!

Whip this recipe up for your next dinner party, as it’s a fast way to feed a lot of people.

Healthy recipes like this create a beautiful salad that can easily be paired with any main dish in the perfect way. I also love that this salad has minimal prep work!

Peach Salad

Combining perfectly ripe peaches, kiwi, grapes, blueberries, and pomegranate creates a balance of tart and sweet that is only enhanced by a simple honey lime dressing.

Plus, the vibrant colors are such a pretty addition to any table, whether it’s a weeknight meal or a community potluck!

Try one of my other summer salad recipes like this mouthwatering Watermelon Feta Salad or my favorite veggie-packed side.

And if you just love peach in your salads, my Grilled Peach Salad with Arugula is also a summer favorite!

I also have rainbow and mojito-inspired fruit salad options for when you need to feed a crowd!

How To Choose A Ripe Peach

Look for fruit that has a beautiful round shape and skin that isn’t damaged or bruised. The color should be rich and vibrant, and avoid any with wrinkled skin — that is a sign of dehydration.

Give it a good smell too. It should have a lovely, sweet aroma that smells exactly how you want it to taste. However, the best test is by touch. Hold the fruit in your hand and give it a gentle squeeze. 

There should be a little bit of give while maintaining its shape — not too hard, and not too soft.

Peach Summer Salad Recipe Tips

• Chill first. Place all of the fruits for this peach salad recipe in the refrigerator ahead of time. This makes slicing easier, plus the dish will be more refreshing.
  
• Swap out the sweetener. If you prefer, maple syrup or agave can be used in place of honey when making honey lime dressing for fruit salad. Give it a taste first to make sure the balance is just right.
  
• Tip for quick slicing: Halve your grapes in no time by placing them between two lids and running a sharp knife in between. 
  
• Skip the whisk. Add your dressing ingredients to a mason jar, screw on the lid, and shake vigorously until well combined.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy peach salad on its own as an afternoon snack, or pair it with some yogurt for a light breakfast. It would be wonderful at a weekend brunch alongside a homemade quiche and rosemary potatoes.

Or, serve peach summer salad with margarita chicken or perfect grilled steaks for dinner!

Kitchen Tools You Will Need

• Serving Bowl – A clear bowl with a touch of style lets the peach salad be the star of the show.
• Bamboo Tongs – These help to toss everything gently and are attractive enough for serving as well.
• Quality Knives and a big solid Cutting Board make prepping a breeze and are well worth the investment.
• Mason Jar – This is the easiest way to make honey lime dressing for fruit salad, plus it’s ready to store in the fridge!

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad

Ever since Chad and I have been together, we have celebrated every special occasion with his family. My family lives across the country so we never even gave it a second thought.

Anyway, as I was saying we spend every holiday with his family and there are a few dishes that you will find at every event we attend. Gigi’s apple salad. It is a family tradition.

It is fruit mixed with whipped cream, and it is delightful. A few years ago it got me thinking.

What if I combined cheesecake and fruit to create an over the top decadent cheesecake salad? Well, I did, and I have to tell you it is the most amazing decadent fruit salad ever.

I am planning for Easter dinner this weekend which is my holiday to host. I started thinking about the fruit salad that I would choose.

I got to thinking about the scrumptious ham that we will be enjoying and then it hit me.

I combined my favorite tropical fruit with a rich and creamy cheesecake filling to create our newest cheesecake salad sensation, and you are going to love it!!!

Cheesecake Salad Recipe Tips:

• Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy, and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
  
• If the cream cheese and pudding mix get too thick, add in a splash of the cream to loosen it up. Then proceed with the recipe, minus the splash you already used.
  
• If you have to substitute for the creamer, use 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

To make Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad Ahead

1. Prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl or sealed jar. 
   
2. Combine all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. 
   
3. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit.

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad + Video

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad is a scrumptious dessert salad, full of fresh tropical fruit. This recipe is perfect for a summer potluck dish!

Course Salad

Cuisine American

Method Mixed

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes minutes

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

Servings 16

Calories 157cal

Author Donna Elick

Ingredients

• 8 ounce package cream cheese
• 3.4 ounce package instant cheesecake pudding unprepared
• 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer liquid
• 1 pound strawberries hulled and sliced
• 4 mandarin oranges peeled and sectioned
• 20 ounce can pineapple tidbits drained
• 3 kiwi peeled and cut into half moons
• 2 mangoes cut into bite size chunks
• 1 banana cut into coins
• juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

• In a medium tall bowl (I use my 8 cup measuring cup), using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up.
• Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined. If the mixture is too thick you can add a splash of the measured creamer to losen it up.
• With the mixer on low, slowly add the remaining creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth.
• In a large bowl, combine strawberries, oranges, pineapple, kiwi and mango.
• Add the cheesecake mixture to the fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
• In a small bowl combine the banana coins and the lemon juice. Toss until well coated, drain the excess lemon juice. Gently fold the banana into the cheesecake salad.
• Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

Notes

Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.

If you have to substitute cream for the creamer, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap. 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

If you are using canned fruit be sure to drain it completely.

To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

Loaded with vitamin C and naturally sweet, this spectacular quick and easy 4 ingredient ice pop is everything that you could hope for in a healthy frozen treat.

Bursting with antioxidants and vitamin C, this popsicle recipe has gotten us through several illnesses this year.  Try it and you’ll think its magical too!

A few weeks ago Munchkin came down with yet another seasonal virus and all she would eat is ice pops. I couldn’t get her to eat any food or take any vitamins, but ice pops were a thumbs up. I quickly realized that if she was only having ice pops I really needed to make them count.

As you may know, “Vitamin C is an important vitamin and antioxidant that the body uses to keep you strong and healthy”.

Vitamin C Ice Pops

Munchkin definitely needed to be strong and healthy, so I researched Vitamin C and the fruit that pack the biggest punch. Surprisingly, oranges are not the fruit with the most vitamin c. I found many articles (here, here and here) that quote kiwi and strawberries as having more vitamin c than citrus.  So, I was off to create the perfect Vitamin C Ice Pop.

Check out my favorite ice pop mold here that makes these classic looking, perfect every time ice pops. It is pretty compact at only 9″x6″x4″ so it takes up very little room in the freeze too. I have 4 of them so I can make a ton of ice pops for parties and long summer days.

Sure enough, Munchkin thinks they are absolutely magical! The strawberry kiwi popsicles are pretty to look at and (naturally) sweet. Not to mention, after devouring several of these she started to feel better so now Mommy and Daddy think they are pretty magical too. LOL

Check out the behind the scenes, photo shoot on Instagram. Keep up with us by following us here.

Enjoy!
